Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants can identify those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
